Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York
-Walden; Henry Thoreau

Good stuff!
We become so obsessed with the mechanics of how to get from one note to the next, or our top Z is half a micro-cent sharp or the old chestnuts of what reed / mouthpiece / instrument / unneccesasary accessory to buy we forget the 'spiritual' (insert an alternate word of your choice if you prefer) effects of music on the player.

Thanks, he's great!
Worked with STING once at the Aspen Music Festival, he was awesome, but his back-stage banter was even more impressive...and enlightening.
He is a talented man in many ways.

As long as we can talk about Rock n Roll:
Sting's son's band, Fiction Plane, is also very good. The son's voice is a little deeper than Sting's, but quite similar...
